Phase 1 Objective: To create at least 5 test patients with associated content in OpenEMR
Instructions
Create 5 patients in OpenEMR
Download and install the OpenEMR virtual machine per the OpenEMR Information document.
Login to the INFO545 virtual machine, password=password
Click on the three bars in the top left corner
Under Patient/Client, click New/Search.
Click on the three bars again to collapse the screen
Fill out the required information for 5 test patients.
Create a number of allergies for each of the 5 test patients.
Create at least 5 visits for each patient, with different reasons for each visit.
Create 5 other entries of your choosing. These could be procedures, lab results, etc.
Congratulations! You have created patient content in your Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
Include the following screenshots in a Microsoft Word document and submit to Canvas:
A screenshot of the 5 test patients in OpenEMR.
A screenshot that shows the visits for each of the patients.
A screenshot that shows the other procedures, lab results, etc.
These screenshots must include the time and date.
Write a paper of at least 1600 words with at least 6 scholarly research articles on the analysis and design of an OpenEMR.
Phase 2:
Final Project: Second Phase Assignment Instructions
Phase 2 Objective: To design a relevant EMR customization/module based on the OpenEMR system implemented in Phase 1
Instructions
Analyze and design 3 relevant EMR customizations/modules (improvements) based on the OpenEMR system you installed in Phase 1.
Submit 3 proposed customizations/modules to EMR based on a selected medical office, clinic, or hospital that you are familiar with. If you have no familiarity, you must research a local health firm.
Use an industry standard, such as UML, for each of the 3 customizations/modules, and include 14 relevant analysis diagrams (e.g. activity diagrams, class diagrams, an entity relationship diagram, sequence diagrams, information systems architecture diagram, and state machine diagrams).
Create a proposal that supports each of these 3 customizations/modules. Each customization/module must be at least 2 pages, totaling at least 5 pages, include at least 6 scholarly references, and be in current APA format.
Include the various analysis diagrams from step 3 as appendices to the proposal. (Be sure to label each diagram, Table 1, Figure 2, etc. Reference each diagram and explain their significance to the reader within the paper.)
Use Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) for this assignment.
You are also able to use more of a narrative and mock-up diagrams in this part of the assignment, if you are not familiar with UML. You will still need to consider what data, fields, user interface design and layout would be needed for your proposed customization. Be sure to include the same number of mock-up diagrams (14) or other visuals to support your proposal.
Phase 3:
Final Project: Third Phase Assignment Instructions
Phase 3 Objective: To physically instantiate the database objects needed to support the newly designed EMR customizations/modules and to create user interface mock-up diagrams of the new customizations/modules
Instructions
Translate EMR customization/module diagrams into the correct and relevant database tables and objects. Each table must be fully functional and properly designed to enforce referential integrity and make proper use of database views, indexing, stored procedures, etc.
Create user interface mock-up diagrams to show how different users based on their role (physician, nurse, administrative support, medical assistant, etc.) would navigate through the user interface for the different functions that would be needed to support the business.
Include all of the minimum functions needed to support the use cases of the EMR customizations/modules. At relevant places, denote which stored procedures and database tables would be invoked for each particular function.
Include all relevant menus, interface panes, and related secondary screens in order to accomplish the purpose of each of the 3 EMR customizations/modules. There must be a total of at least 6 user interface diagrams (at least 2 for each of the 3 EMR customizations/modules).
Create an executive summary that is at least 2 pages to support the user interface guiding design principles. The executive summary must be in current APA format and all user interface diagrams must be in appendices.
Submit screenshots of the database objects and the executive summary with accompanying appendices in the Final Project: Third Phase Assignment.
If you are not familiar with database entity relationship diagrams or database design in general, you are also able to use more of a narrative to describe the data needed to support your proposal. If this option is chosen, be sure to describe the relationships between the different data needed to support your proposed workflow.
